Just received the invoice from University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics for the emergency room use from 12:30 am to 4 am on Thanksgiving morning.

$10,382.38
Not priceless

$ 410.00 repair superficial wounds (stitch brow lacerations
$ 209.00 apply splint plaster
$1,113.15 laboratory (don't know for what)
$6,232.00 radiology (CT scans despite no pain/disfunction
$ 53.10 supplies
$ 104.13 pharmacy (which they said was closed)
$2,261.00 emergency room

I was not able to take any of the xrays or CT scans to Dean providers when the insurance company said it would not cover me at UW. They cannot transfer digitally? EPIC, what the heck? Both Dean and UW use My Chart.

I asked to hand carry the records. UW apologized that their records department is no longer in the hospital. It is far west on Excelsior Drive. Bit of a challenge for hop-a-long, with a fractured foot and inability to drive to get there before the next week. So Dean Orthopedics took more x-rays.

Just for shock value:
Here is the invoice from Milwaukee Hospital from May 26 - May 31 of 1965 when I had surgery on my little face.

Five days in room #441, $26.25 per day.
Anesthesia materials $11.00.
Labs, $2.00, three times.
Here's the biggy - Operating Room, $46.25.
Grand total $208.85
